An Approach for Solving Tasks on the Abstract Reasoning Corpus
share
The Abstract Reasoning Corpus (ARC) is an intelligence tests for measuring fluid intelligence in artificial intelligence systems and humans alike. In this paper we present a system for reasoning about and solving ARC tasks. Our system relies on a program synthesis approach that searches a space of potential programs for ones that can solve tasks from the ARC. Programs are in a domain specific language, and in some instances our search algorithm is guided by insights from a corpus of ground truth programs. In particular: We describe an imperative style domain specific language, called Visual Imagery Reasoning Language (VIMRL), for reasoning about tasks in the ARC. We also demonstrate an innovative approach for how large search spaces can be decomposed using special high level functions that determine their own arguments through local searches on a given task item. Finally, we share our results obtained on the publicly available ARC items as well as our system's strong performance on a private test, recently tying for 4th place on the global ARCathon 2022 challenge.
